Aberdeen Test Centres and Pass Rates
Based on the latest DVSA data, 2024–25 | 2 nearby test centres
Scotland's twelve centres handled 64,702 tests from 2024 to 2025, with a 44.6% average pass rate that's notably below the national average. Lanark stands out with an impressive 55% pass rate thanks to its quieter rural roads and less congested test routes, while Glasgow Shieldhall struggles at just 37.7% due to heavy traffic and complex urban junctions around the industrial areas. Automatic learners generally perform well, with Lanark showing 53.1% automatic pass rates. Women achieve 44.2% overall compared to men at 45.8%. The challenging urban centres like Glasgow and Hamilton drag down the regional average, while smaller towns like Lanark and Livingston offer better prospects.
